2 LINE MESH

The created elements will be stored in the current part.

          Select or create two lines in the submenu window.  Refer to Section 5.2.1  for available options.

          Enter the integers in N1, N2, N3, and N4 fields in the displayed dialog box.

Integer N1 is the number of elements created along line 1.  Integer 2 is the number of elements created along the side connecting line 2 at the starting end of line 1.  Integers N3 and N4 are the number of elements created along line 2 and the side between the two selected lines.  These four integers must meet the following criteria:

N1 < 2N3, N3 < 2N1, N2 < 2N4, and N4 < 2N2

 

If N3 and N4 are omitted, N1 is the number of elements along the selected lines, and N2 will be the number of elements between the two lines.
